...another beach

Yet another Californian beach on a very beautiful evening. As one travels up the coast on Highway 1 they seem to get prettier by the minute.



Aileni, over at Monochrome Maniacs, is hosting lots more monochromes.

That's not your average beach! Nice capture of those fantastical stacks and cliffs!

I like this shot a lot. It's interesting how dark some of the rocks are and how light others are. I think that stands out so well in monochrome.

Love the fog, the waves, the rocks. It feels very refreshing in my imagination.

There is magic along the coast highway, and you've captured it well.

Perfect scenery in B&W. Each element detachs itself from the other. Light and weather are also exactely what you needed for a wonderful picture.

Oh...that's lovely. I'm so used to seeing the California coastline in color, but it's just as spectacular in mono! Hi from sunny Cal...

Highway 1 both southward and northward is so picturesque, it's one of my fave places to drive.

Lovely shot! Looks a bit windy, and the black and white reinforce it. Like it!
